Good idea.

C/Would anyone recommend any of the IPC::*** shared memory packages for what I'm doing?

It's the same as any other process, i.e. the usual IPC methods are
available.  If you want to update the whole data structure at once, I
think what you're doing sounds fine, although you could make it
simpler by checking last mod time on a shared file and doing away with
semaphores.
